Rook is an open-source cloud-native storage orchestrator for Kubernetes that automates deployment, configuration, scaling, upgrading, and monitoring of Ceph distributed storage via a Kubernetes operator. It turns Ceph into self-managing, self-scaling, self-healing storage services providing file, block, and object storage to Kubernetes workloads.

Use cases

run ceph storage on kubernetes
provide persistent volumes to kubernetes applications
automate ceph cluster deployment and management
self-healing distributed storage for containers
provision block object and file storage in kubernetes
hyperconverged storage on commodity hardware

When to choose

you need production-grade file, block, and object storage natively integrated with Kubernetes
you want automated deployment, scaling, upgrades, and disaster recovery for Ceph
you run Kubernetes on bare metal or VMs with local disks and need durable persistent storage
you want a CNCF graduated, widely adopted storage solution

When to avoid

you only need simple single-node storage or hostPath volumes
you have no raw block devices or local storage available in your cluster
you use a managed cloud where cloud-native storage services suffice
you need storage orchestration outside of Kubernetes
